Ron Paul, the paleo fusion, and partisan bias at The American Conservative

"[I]n the end, which side got the better of the paleo 'fusion,' libertarians or conservatives? What attracted young people to Paul, his anti-war, pro-liberty message, or his anti-abortion, states rights views? Did those who knew nothing about politics become more libertarian after listening to Paul, or more conservative? Was it more likely that Paul's campaign led hard-core libertarians to become more conservative, or hard-core paleo-conservatives to become more libertarian?" (05/15/12)
